Dell Studio XPS 1340

Hi, I'm looking to get a modified bios for a Dell Studio XPS 1340...with the aim to have all extra options unlocked and enhanced CPU compatibility. I intend to install a Core 2 Quad Q9100 CPU.

I realise it's an old machine, and looking around the forum it would seem there is already such a bios for the XPS 1640...which was the larger screen version of this machine. It's located here :-

I've already managed to get the original latest bios for the 1340, and I've ran the phoenix SLIC mod tool and installed the new bios which worked...but it didn't open any other options. Here's where I should have googled what SLIC as first, but seeing as everyone was talking about it I figured it was the mod to enable all extra options.

The Dell 1340 and 1640 are pretty much the same machines inside, I'm wondering if this modded bios would just work...but don't really want to test it. I've opened up the modded bios for the 1640 and compared to my 1340 bios in phoenix editor pro and can see all the extra options that mine doesn't have under the setup table. I wasn't sure if just transplanting the ROM file for this would work, something else I don't want to risk because I have no idea what I'm doing.

I can't seem to find guides / tools for just enabling hidden options, they all seem to go towards enabling SLIC which I really don't care about.

I have uploaded both the original ROM file and the SLIC enabled ROM file in teh following zip :-

I've been able to open and modify this so easily with the tools I have, that I'm sure this would be very simple for someone to modify who knows what they're doing Smile

Because my request pertains to both having the advanced options, so I can modify cpu throttling, and I also want to get a CPU upgrade...should I also post this in the CPU upgrades requests? I'd like to get them both done so let me know Smile

Thanks in advance for the help.
